The @PeasPleaseUK #VegSummit promised to be a fun and interesting event and it delivered!
Loved the table displays (that became goody bags) from @growcomm.
Sadly didn’t get a pic of the Mariachi band, too busy chatting to fascinating ppl & enjoying the veggie mocktails!

Engaging and important discussions around the provision of universal free school meals.
Providing #UFSM is the first very necessary part of puzzle. Beyond this we must think of all the factors, including #foodeducation, that can lead to healthy consumption of the food provided.

On Sunday it was the @wearegrow___ Pumpkin Time event. Pumpkins to pick and carve, pumpkin soup, pumpkin fancy dress and even the chickens were enjoying some pumpkin. A beautiful opportunity for adults and children alike to spend time outside and see how food is grown.
